DUAL LASER SOURCE

Cercis Inc. has unveiled the model 520-8513M62 dual laser source for testing Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet installations of multimode 62.5/125-µm fiber. The light source, containing an 850-nm VCSEL diode and a 1310-nm Fabry-Perot laser diode, is available with one or two optical ports. The port, either FC-style or with interchangeable adapters that accommodate FC, ST and SC single connector types, enables rapid testing of two wavelengths without disconnecting the connector. The device can be used with the company's model 510g and 510i optical power meters.
